Want to buy a piece of Ipswich history. This magnificent character home was probably built before your grandparents were born. Oozing all the charm of yesteryear there is an opportunity for you to secure this home for the next generation.
Walking from the front gate through the landscaped fully secured front yard you walk on the brick path which leads you to the timber path to the front of the home, only a few steps up onto the L shaped veranda which has a few seats and room for a sofa to relax and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. You know you are going to see a piece of history as soon as you get to the front door.
This home has so many original features that has not been replaced or repaired and is in fantastic condition for their ages. It is so rare to have all these to offer. The character of the home has not been compromised and still offers you the original windows, tongue and groove walls, pine floor and hardwood flooring as well as the coloured glass, fretwork and multiple French doors. A few great features are the original archway that showcases the living area with a wood fire heater and a tongue and groove curved wall from the living area to the multi-functional kitchen. You don’t see this too often. It is very rare.
Boasting 3 good old style big bedrooms the master bedroom walls have never been painted. How good is that. There are double doors opening onto the front veranda from the main bedroom. The second bedroom is airconditioned. The bathroom is fully renovated with stylish glass bricks as feature wall and boasts a large double vanity with a tiled floor and a separate toilet which has access to the main bedroom. 11ft ceilings throughout the home remind you of the architecture style of an era gone by.
There is a lot of space in this home with 2 complete separate living areas. The open plan kitchen flows into the family area. The seller still has the original wood stove alcove and original mantle over this space. You can only imagine people cooking in this spot over approx. 120 years ago. The kitchen has plenty of bench space, pantry, gas cook top and electric oven with lots of room to prepare the cooking. Don’t worry about trying to capture and summer breezes there is 4 separate double door/single doors that open onto the front veranda.
The roof was totally replaced in 2015. Underneath also has so many uses being fully concreted under with weatherproof rear steps from the rear there is no need to get wet on rainy days. Here you will find the laundry and second toilet but also miles of room for storage or renovate to suit your needs. It is not legal height under but I can walk around easily and there is no fear to bang my head on the beams. The current occupant uses some of this area as an entertaining area with a huge table and chairs at the ready.
Outside you don’t need to worry about narrow access to the rear yard. There is a 4.4m wide driveway to the 6.4mx3.4m shed + workshop space. Having this access to the complete fully secured rear yard is awesome. I bet you cannot find so much room and access on many homes today.
Build another shed or put a pool in when you have a massive 1165m2 block you can do basically just about anything with the space.
Being in walking distance and only a minute or 2 to the local shops, Ipswich State High and Brassall Primary Schools. Riverlink and the Ipswich CBD you are spoilt for choice.
The interstate seller is wanting offers over $449,000. This is your chance to secure a piece of history but also a massive block for you and your family to enjoy.
